I am sorry to say that neither my DH nor I cared for this dish. I followed the directions as written with one exception. I used pineapple chunks in water, not syrup, and used two envelopes of sweet and lo to make up for the lack of sweetness, but it just didn't appeal to either of us. I guess not every recipe is for everyone, and this, unfortunately was one of those. I will not be making this again, tho I am curious as to why it turned out this way. I wonder if subbing the plain pineapple for the sugary kind can be the answer. I am not going to rate this since I did not follow it to the letter, and it would not be a fair rating. However, if it tasted this way with the pineapple in syrup that was called for in the recipe, i would only give it 2 stars. Sorry, Mirj, I wanted this one to work.....

Wonderful! Because of a mix-up in some friends schedule I had 6 pounds if thighs which had to be used quickly so chose this. I doubled the recipe. I only had chunk pineapple. I only had one tin of Water Chestnuts so I added a tin of julienne Bamboo Shoots. Chinese wouldn't be Chinese without the counter-point of some chilies to liven things up. A teaspoon of crushed Red Chili Flakes worked well. As you say, not authentic but them peasant cooking no matter the country has always been making do with what's at hand. This freezes well which is good because I have about 9 or 10 meals in the freezer. Thanx, Pierre

I thought this was wonderful. Very easy to do. I did add a little extra soy sauce and corn starch - somehow I ended up with more liquid than I guess you should have - probably a fattier chicken or whatever. Delicious, as usual, Mirjam.
